An appeals court says there will be no new trial for a former Washington judge who tried to sue his dry cleaners for $54 million over a lost pair of pants.
The District of Columbia Court of Appeals rejected the request Thursday from Roy L. Pearson to overturn a 2007 ruling that denied him damages. Pearson had argued that Custom Cleaners failed to live up to its promise of "Satisfaction Guaranteed."
Three appellate judges agreed Pearson failed to show the store's advertising amounted to fraud and said his argument defied logic.
Pearson still can ask the entire nine-judge appellate court to review the case or appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Pearson did not immediately respond to an e-mail or telephone message seeking comment.
